INTRODUCTION

We are proud to welcome you as a new owner of a Mirage speaker system. The finest

components and materials are manufactured to exacting standards and tested with

sophisticated manufacturing and quality control techniques to ensure exceptional performance

that is superior to speakers costing several times their price. This approach to the development

of the Mirage OMNISAT V2 has resulted in a significant improvement over other system designs

in terms of performance and aesthetics.

COMPANY BACKGROUND

Mirage loudspeakers and subwoofers are designed and manufactured by Audio Products

International Corp., known throughout the industry as “API”. A Canadian company founded in

1973, API is one of the world’s largest speaker manufacturers, supplying products to over sixty

countries internationally.

The renowned Mirage research team advances its speaker development through the use of

computer-based design techniques combined with multiple listening rooms and anechoic

chambers. Mirage is manufactured in a modern 165, 000 square foot facility located in Toronto,

Canada. A dedicated team of engineering, marketing, and manufacturing people creates the

finest speakers in the world for your ultimate music or home theater listening pleasure. Now it’s

time to set up your system and experience the miracle of Mirage Omnipolar sound.

THE OMNISAT V2 SERIES

The main goal of the new OMNISAT V2 was to provide a series of speakers with the most

natural, accurate performance that could excel at both home theater and music reproduction.

This was accomplished by using Mirage’s newest proprietary Omnipolar technology. Omnipolar

technology produces the same amount of direct and reflected sound as live events for the most

realistic experience of either music or home theater.

WHAT EXACTLY IS OMNIPOLAR?

Omnipolar technology uses natural room reflections to create a greater sense of realism. This is

accomplished by recreating the same ratio of direct to reflected sound - 70% reflected and

30% direct, that is typically found in performance spaces. A conventional speaker only produces

30% reflected sound. It is the additional reflected sound provided by a Mirage Omnipolar

speaker that creates a miraculous three-dimensional sound experience in your home.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The Mirage OMNISAT V2 has been designed for high performance in a wide variety of settings,

but here are a few helpful hints that will help to maximize performance and your enjoyment.

Left and Right Channels

A general guideline for speaker placement is to set up the space between speaker and listener

at approximately 1-1/2 times the distance between the speakers. For example, if the speakers

were ideally placed a minimum of 6 feet apart, the best seating position would be 9 feet away.

Ideal height would position the speaker at approximately ear level when the listener is in a

seated position. For the OMNISAT V2 satellite, this can be accomplished by using the

recommended OMNISAT V2 stand.

Center Channel

A center channel can be expected to reproduce as much as 60% of a movie’s soundtrack, most

of which is dialogue. In order to maintain the effect of voices emanating from the actor’s

mouth, the OMNISAT V2CC should be centrally located between the left and right OMNISAT V2

speakers and be placed above or below the television.

Surround Channel

The surround speakers should be positioned adjacent to and slightly behind the primary

listening area, on the rear or side wall or on the ceiling to provide a sense of spaciousness and

ambience for all Surround Sound formats. These speakers should ideally be placed above ear

level for best performance. See diagram 3.

MOUNTING OPTIONS

OMNISAT V2 Satellite

The small size and Omnipolar dispersion of the versatile OMNISAT V2 Satellite speakers permits

them to be easily wall mounted. The OMNISAT V2 Satellite comes equipped with its own

specifically designed wall bracket. The bracket allows for two simple installation alternatives:

a. Carefully drive a #8 screw into a stud in the wall, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of the screw

exposed, then mount the OMNISAT V2 Satellite like you would a picture. Note: Failure to attach

the screw safely to a secure spot on the wall can result in damage or injury. When mounting the

speaker at a height of under six feet, orient the OMNISAT V2 Satellite in an upright position.

Slide the head of the screw into the wide portion of the channel opening and slide the

OMNISAT V2 Satellite downward until it sits in position. When mounting the speaker at a height

of over six feet, orient the OMNISAT V2 Satellite in an upside down position so the grill is facing

the floor and use the bottom key-way channel. Slide the head of the screw into the wide

portion of the channel opening and slide the OMNISAT V2 Satellite downward until it sits in

position. See Diagrams 2a, 3

b. Start by marking the bracket's screw positions on the wall with a pencil, then screw the bracket

to the wall. Drywall anchors are recommended for any drywall wall mount installation to ensure

a solid installation. After the bracket has been mounted to the wall, the OMNISAT V2 Satellite

speaker can simply be mounted to the bracket by tightening the included bolt to the bottom of

the OMNISAT V2. See Diagrams 2b, 3

CEILING MOUNT: The OMNISAT V2 Satellite speakers can also be ceiling mounted. Please follow

the same instructions outlined in section b above.

OMNISAT V2 CC CENTER CHANNEL:

1. Choose the desired mounting position. If possible, find a position on the wall that allows the

OMNISAT V2 CC to be mounted directly to a wall stud. Attach the mounting template (included

in the box) to the desired position by using tape or small nails. (Diagram 6)

IMPORTANT: The arrows on the template should point in the same direction as the

grill. If the OMNISAT V2 CC is mounted below 6 feet, the grille should face

upwards and therefore the arrows on the template should also point upwards.

If the OMNISAT V2 CC is mounted above 6 feet, the grille should face downwards,

and similarly the arrows on the template should also point downwards.

2. Using a level, ensure the template is attached level to the wall. It is critical that the template is

level as a mistake at this stage will result in uneven mounting of the OMNISAT V2 CC.

(Diagram 7)

3. Outline the two rectangular boxes. Mark the smaller box with an X. The smaller box is needed

for the wire management outlining the recommended wall cut-out. (Diagram 8)

4. After the template has been removed, use a drywall saw to cut out the smaller rectangular box

marked with an X. Please note that this step is only required if the wires will be fed through the

wall. If a different wire management system is being used, please ignore this step. (Diagram 9)

owners manual

5. Mount the wall bracket into position. The use of proper anchors for all screws is required to

ensure a secure installation. Please note that screws and anchors are not included in the

OMNISAT V2 CC package. (Diagram 10)

6. Feed the wires through the hole cut out. (Diagram 11)

7. Connect the wires to the appropriate binding posts at the back of the OMNISAT V2 CC.

IMPORTANT: Connect the speaker wire from the positive (RED +) terminal on the

amplifier to the positive (RED+) terminal on the speaker. Connect the negative

(BLACK-) terminal on the amplifier to the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the

speaker.

8. After the wires are connected, hang the OMNISAT V2 CC on the wall bracket. Center the

OMNISAT V2 CC and push down lightly on the speaker to achieve a tight fit between the

speaker and the bracket. If the speaker is not centered, repeat this step. (Diagram 12)

BOOKSHELF/ENTERTAINMENT

UNIT PLACEMENT

The small size and Omnipolar dispersion of the versatile OMNISAT V2 Satellite and OMNISAT

V2CC center channel speakers permits them to be easily placed, among other places, in a

bookshelf. To maximize the Omnipolar dispersion potential, bring the speaker as close to the

front of the cabinet as possible.

CONNECTIONS

The Mirage OMNISAT V2 series is equipped with high quality binding posts that permit the use

of banana plugs, spades, or a bare wire connection. Connect the speaker wire from the positive

(RED +) terminal on the amp to the positive (RED+) terminal on the speaker. Connect the

negative (BLACK-) terminal on the amplifier to the negative (BLACK-) terminal on the speaker.
